    SV OU Sun Team, looking to get to the next level (peaked at 1490)

    Rillaboom is weak without choice band. Drum beating is even weaker. You want choice band, and you want wood hammer. You'll become a better player if you learn how to properly use these, as well.

    SV OU This one suffered badly after the mask DLC; help me out (edit: now top 100 lol)

    Good job Salazzle you did it, top 100. Thanks recent bans! edit: Recent bans let me put Stealth Rock over Block on Garganacl, and Ice Spinner over Stealth Rock on Tusk.

    Media Artificial Intelligence's place in creating art?

    Isn't this just an extension of fanfiction?

    Media Artificial Intelligence's place in creating art?

    I specifically didn't put a name link on this because I'm not trying to call this person out, and I explicitly don't want to strawman them. I have seen this "stolen" wording a lot, and I think a lot of the people who use it have some very incompatible opinions about fanart featuring copyrighted...

    Media Artificial Intelligence's place in creating art?

    Anyone who thinks that current AI art is limited to hyperrealistic and heavily lit stuff needs to change the prompt. That's what you're seeing as examples of AI art because that's what popular and people are uncreative. Ironically, just like a mass-market artistic trend.

    Hahaha, I somehow broke 1700 with this as-is, reaching 1708. A new post-DLC high. edit: 1766 now, lol.

    Totally fine to can Cress. It's got a lot of problems. I'd love to find something that can set up on other set-upers like Cress could do if possible, but Cress itself is just too hard to work with nowadays.

    SV OU This one suffered badly after the mask DLC; help me out (edit: now top 100 lol)

    Every Gliscor I've run across in the last 20 games I've killed with Garg. It takes a while but as long as Gliscor doesn't have Swords Dance it completely kills it. Takes about 5 recover PP if you don't tera, and about 13 salt cure PP. It can't trap and kill Swords Dance set (but I haven't seen...

    Damn, Cress really is obsolete now with the DLC huh? I don't particularly have anything that needs to be kept, but I do like two aspects that I wouldn't mind maintaining: (1) Garganacl can trap and deal with a couple really annoying shits like Gliscor (2) Cresselia is sturdy enough to get a...

    Alright, so I put this together pre-DLC. At that point it struggled to break through 1800. It's got some unusual stuff in there (Salazzle, who the hell uses that), and it was my first attempt at SV teambuilding so really no surprises that it started to struggle there because there's only so much...

    This 'mon is absolutely insane thanks to mold breaker. Can stall as an archetype even survive with this thing in OU?

    Headlines Algeria bans ‘Barbie’ movie

    The only reason I'm not going to see Oppenheimer, and this might seem a little petty, is that I think Nolan shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the sound mixing desk. His idea that "dynamic range" means "dialog should be inaudible" is incompatible with my viewing sensitivities. I'll see it when...

    Social Half year check in

    Very frustrated by how slow my guitar skill progression seems to be going.

    Social If you could tell your younger self something what would would it be?

    Aside from the obvious investment facts to make $TEXAS, I'd like to tell myself to actually pick up and practice violin in school instead. Sure is a lot harder to get going when you get older.

    Lifestyle Things for me to put on my toasts

    Canned mushrooms generally lack flavor until you grill them so probably wouldn't work well in this situation.

    Lifestyle What is something you learned in the past year?

    I've been trying to learn guitar! Started in September. Wish I was better at it. Apparently for the first year you just totally suck and it sucks because you can't get anything to sound good during the process.

    Media Anime and Manga Thread MK3 - Beware Spoilers

    Winter 2023 is a great season if you like comedy. On the new front, there's Tomo-chan. On the sequel front, there's Bofuru season 2 and Misfit of Demon King Academy season 2. On the continuing front, Eminence in the Shadow is still running. That's four solid comedy series.

    Lifestyle physical health/fitness thread

    If it's at all viable for you to do this, you count calories. You said you're in college though. That can mean cafeteria food, which means counting calories is basically impossible. BUT IF YOU MAKE YOUR OWN MEALS, it is easy. You just weigh everything. And I mean literally everything. Then put...

    Headlines Russia invades Ukraine

    Um, exactly what peace talks have the west been "instigating and shut[t]ing down"? Ukraine has always had a pretty clear condition for peace talks: the Russians out of their country! Russia has shown zero willingness to do this! You say that the west have been both instigating and shutting down...

    Headlines Russia invades Ukraine

    So compromise means "only annex a major part of their territory", got it. They weren't joining NATO in the first place when Russia invaded. But they sure as fuck are going to now, so Russia doesn't invade them again. It's abundantly clear that NATO membership is necessary for them to defend...
